Title: Blazer without removable top
Post by: VileZambonie on April 24, 2009, 07:58:52 am: I brought this up years ago as I've seen listings for Blazer parts without removable top. I was just looking at brothers tailgate listing for 1981 and it says blazer without removable top. So what gives? Has anyone ever seen a solid top 1981 Blazer?

Honestly, I have never seen or heard of a Blazer with the non removable top unless it was the S10 version.

The listing specifically says 1981 blazer without removable top.

maybe that means the top is not there? Just a guess.

This was not for a for sale vehicle. It was specifically a parts vendor listing who had a seperate listing for a one year only tailgate for use with non removable top.
